Compression by Abstraction: A Conversation About Vectors
The following conversation was re-published with permission from the brand-new publication Spheres by Swiss graphic designer Philippe Karrer. Rafaël Rozendaal and Jürg Lehni discuss their shared interest in vector graphics, which are based on mathematically-defined geometrical entities such as lines, circles, and points, in contrast with more commonly used bitmap graphics, in which values are assigned to grids of pixels.
Rafaël Rozendaal: Vectors are based on mathematical equations. The equations are perfect. No matter how we try, we can never render a perfect circle in any medium. And even if we did, our imperfect eyes would not be able to register its perfection. Do we have to accept that such shapes can only exist in our mind?

Looks like a great show to me. I've seen several of those pieces separately and liked them very much. Must be even better when they're all in on building.

On Tour
Nikola Tosic is one of the best artists alive today, if not THE best. I am not very enthusiastic about most contemporary art. Finding out about Nikola and his work was/is very meaningful to me and reassures me that not only the masters of past centuries were able to produce groundbreaking ideas.
I am not familiar with the writing of Brian Droitcour but I am very surprised with his article especially after he met Nikola in person. At first the article seems positive but when you look closer you find out it's quite patronizing and totally misses the point. The point is that Nikola is a genius, someone who is completely underappreciated by most of the world.
